NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:SGYP) today announced that the company will present two abstracts, including Phase 3 studies evaluating TRULANCE® (plecanatide) for the treatment of adults with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) at the World Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG) at American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), Oct. 13-18, 2017, in Orlando, Fla.
TRULANCE is a once-daily tablet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and is currently being evaluated for the treatment of adults with IBS-C. The recommended dosage of TRULANCE for CIC is 3 mg taken orally, once daily, with or without food at any time of the day.
Synergy will also present findings from the new BURDEN IBS-C (Better Understanding and Recognition of the Disconnects, Experiences, and Needs of Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation) study, which evaluated the experiences and perceptions of people living with IBS-C and healthcare providers who regularly treat this condition. Synergy previously presented results from a companion study, BURDEN-CIC, at Digestive Diseases Week in May 2017.
The data will be presented via poster presentations as follows:
Tuesday, Oct. 17 – 1:15 – 2:30 p.m. ET
P2019: BURDEN IBS-C Study
- Presenter: Eamonn M.M. Quigley, M.D., Director, Lynda K. and David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Disorders, Houston Methodist Hospital
P2023: Efficacy and Safety of Plecanatide in Patients with
Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (2017 Presidential Poster
- Presenter: Patrick Griffin, M.D., Synergy Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Indications and Usage
TRULANCE is a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist indicated in adults for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC).
Trulance® is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age; in nonclinical studies in young juvenile mice administration of a single oral dose of plecanatide caused deaths due to dehydration. Use of Trulance should be avoided in patients 6 years to less than 18 years of age. The safety and efficacy of Trulance have not been established in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age.
- Trulance is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age due to the risk of serious dehydration.
- Trulance is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction.
Warnings and Precautions
Risk of Serious Dehydration in Pediatric Patients
- Trulance is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of Trulance in patients less than 18 years of age have not been established. In young juvenile mice (human age equivalent of approximately 1 month to less than 2 years), plecanatide increased fluid secretion as a consequence of stimulation of guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C), resulting in mortality in some mice within the first 24 hours, apparently due to dehydration. Due to increased intestinal expression of GC-C, patients less than 6 years of age may be more likely than older patients to develop severe diarrhea and its potentially serious consequences.
- Use of Trulance should be avoided in patients 6 years to less than 18 years of age. Although there were no deaths in older juvenile mice, given the deaths in young mice and the lack of clinical safety and efficacy data in pediatric patients, use of Trulance should be avoided in patients 6 years to less than 18 years of age.
- Diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction in the two placebo-controlled clinical trials. Severe diarrhea was reported in 0.6% of patients.
- If severe diarrhea occurs, the health care provider should suspend dosing and rehydrate the patient.
Adverse Reactions
- In the two combined CIC clinical trials, the most common adverse reaction in Trulance-treated patients (incidence ≥2% and greater than in the placebo group) was diarrhea (5% vs 1% placebo).

About Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC)
CIC affects approximately 14 percent of the global population, disproportionately affecting women and older adults. People with CIC have persistent symptoms of difficult-to-pass and infrequent bowel movements. In addition to physical symptoms including abdominal bloating and discomfort, CIC can adversely affect an individual's quality of life, including increasing stress levels and anxiety.
About Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain and associated with two or more of the following: related to defecation, associated with a change in the frequency of stool, or associated with a change in the form (appearance) of the stool. IBS can be subtyped by the predominant stool form: constipation (IBS-C), diarrhea (IBS-D) or mixed (IBS-M). Those within the IBS-C subtype experience hard or lumpy stools more than 25 percent of the time they defecate, and loose or watery stools less than 25 percent of the time. It is estimated that the prevalence of IBS-C in the U.S. adult population is approximately 4 to 5 percent.
About TRULANCE®
TRULANCE® (plecanatide) is a once-daily tablet approved for adults with CIC and is being evaluated for IBS-C. With the exception of a single amino acid substitution for greater binding affinity, TRULANCE is structurally identical to uroguanylin, a naturally occurring and endogenous human GI peptide. Uroguanylin activates GC-C receptors in a pH-sensitive manner primarily in the small intestine, stimulating fluid secretion and maintaining stool consistency necessary for regular bowel function.
About Synergy Pharmaceuticals
Synergy is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel gastrointestinal (GI) therapies. The company has pioneered discovery, research and development efforts on analogs of uroguanylin, a naturally occurring and endogenous human GI peptide, for the treatment of GI diseases and disorders. Synergy's proprietary GI platform includes one commercial product TRULANCE® (plecanatide) and a second lead product candidate, dolcanatide. For more information, please visit www.synergypharma.com.

April 3, 2009 --A new study links snoring to depression and anxiety symptoms in preschoolers. The research shows preschool-aged children who snore show the symptoms more often than children who don't snore.
The authors conclude that snoring is a possible risk factor for attention and mood problems -- as well as cognitive impairment in children. They say parents should make pediatricians aware if their preschoolers snore.
The study is published in the April issue of the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

40 Million Credit Card Numbers Hacked
Saturday, June 18, 2005
More than 40 million credit card numbers belonging to U.S. consumers were accessed by a computer hacker and are at risk of being used for fraud, MasterCard International Inc. said yesterday.
In the largest security breach of its kind, MasterCard officials said all credit card brands were affected, including 13.9 million cards bearing the MasterCard label. A spokeswoman for Visa USA Inc. confirmed that 22 million of its card numbers may have been breached, while Discover Financial Services Inc. said it did not yet know if its cards were affected.
MasterCard officials said consumers are not held responsible for unauthorized charges on their cards, and that other sensitive personal data, such as Social Security numbers and birth dates, were not stored in the hacked system. So far, no evidence of fraudulent charges has emerged, they said.
The breach occurred late last year at a processing center in Tucson operated by CardSystems Solutions Inc., one of several companies that handle transfers of payment between the bank of a credit card-using consumer and the bank of the merchant where a purchase was made.
CardSystems' computers were breached by malicious code that allowed access to customer data, said Josh Peirez, a MasterCard senior vice president.
Peirez said MasterCard is certain only that 68,000 of its numbers were taken by the hacker over an unknown amount of time before the breach was discovered. But because the hacker had access to the full database, it is difficult to say how many more numbers may have been taken, he said.
He said the breach was not confirmed until about two weeks ago.
MasterCard said it has begun notifying banks that issue its cards, which in turn are responsible for notifying cardholders.
A teeming black market for stolen credit card numbers allows thieves to make quick purchases, pinning the loss on merchants, which do not get paid when the charge is discovered to be fraudulent. Identity theft experts said credit card numbers, even those that are canceled, have value because they can be used to help establish the credentials of a thief seeking to pose as a consumer to obtain other sensitive personal data.
Officials at MasterCard and Visa accused CardSystems of not meeting agreed-upon computer security standards. Peirez said CardSystems is being given a short time to make corrections.
"We have requirements," Peirez said. "In this case, it does not seem those standards were being followed."
Visa spokeswoman Rhonda Bentz said CardSystems did not comply with Visa's security rules when the breach occurred, though she would not elaborate on what went wrong.

"The Government of India stands committed to accelerating its efforts to combat tuberculosis in the country", stated Shri J P Nadda, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare. He was speaking on the eve of 'World TB Day', here today. He stated that the process of fighting TB is continuous, hence there can be no dilution and do diversion. Our attention needs to steadfast and aggressive, stated the Health Minister. He further added that resources will not be a constraint and the Government will continue to work with all stakeholders, in devising short term and long term approaches. Shri Nadda also emphasized the need for compassion in the treatment of TB patients.
At the event, J P Nadda, launched Bedaquiline – new anti-TB drug for Drug Resistant TB as part of the RNTCP. The drug is a new anti-TB drug for treatment of MDR-TB. This new class of drug is a diarylquinoline that specifically targets Mycobacterial ATP synthase, an enzyme essential for supply of energy to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and most other mycobacteria. This drug is indicated for use in the treatment of drug-resistant TB. Bedaquiline is being introduced at six identified tertiary care centres across India. These sites have advanced facilities for laboratory testing and intensive care for patients. Bedaquiline will be given to multi-drug resistant TB patients with resistance to either all fluoroquinolone and/or all second line injectables and extensive drug resistant TB.

The Wood Pellets are Here!
I hate to think about it, but we'll probably be turning this thing on within a month...ugh! We do love the feel of the heat from the pellet stove, but I hate to think about the approaching cold.
Here's a picture of the stove in action last winter. It's actually kind of pretty when it's running. The heat just feels so much warmer than our baseboard heat. We bought this stove when the cost of oil went crazy-high. Even though the cost of oil has gone down, the pellets are still less expensive than oil.
You can check out this link that I wrote last year for some ideas on how to conserve heat in the winter.
What type of heat do you use in the winter? (If you have to use heat at all?!) Do you have it ready yet?
9 comments:
I feel like I need heat today! It it 45 outside this am and 66 in the house! I hate this time of the year.....I don't want to turn the heat on for a while, but I have a feeling we'll be turning it on sooner than later.
We have gas heat!

We use electric heat and I don't like it at all. Our new house has electric too, and it doesn't look like switching to gas is an option. So we are seriously looking into Geothermal. There was an article in Time magazine last week about it and it sounds like a fantastic option.

What don't you like about electric heat (the expense, probably?) Although, electric rates are different throughout the country. The people I know who have electric heat up here (not many, most houses are oil), pay a TON for that kind of heat.
I've heard about geothermal, but I don't know much about it. Is it possible to add to an existing house? I thought that was only for new construction...

Electric heat is really expensive in NH, but it was common and cheaper in MI. Not sure why, LOL. We use oil for most of our heat, but we also have the propane fireplace (that thing can heat most of the house if we lose power!) We also have a wood-burning fireplace, but it only gives off a little heat -- very nice for our family room, though.
Our goal is to wait until Oct. before turning on the oil heat, but we rarely make it. I always justify starting early by just turning it on for a minute "to get the chill out of the air." It's over after that! LOL.

Wow! That's a lot of pellets. But I guess no different than stacking fire wood. I have gas heat/forced air and unlike you I am looking forward to cooler days. Ofcourse, we don't suffer for months in the cold here but I always think I can find a way to keep warm. In the 7 months of summer here I can only take off so much. Electric heat would be sooo expensive. My cousins in northwest Arkansas built new homes in recent years and they praise radiant floor heating. Not sure what I would choose if I lived in a cold climate. I'm sure it's a challenge.
Stay warm this winter.

Yes, if it was fire wood, you wouldn't believe how high THAT pile would be! We have to have the heat on for 7 months out of the year here (ugh)...which is why we have to get so many.

Slowly and subtly political policies sometimes change, and it is necessary to keep a very sharp antenna tuned to the vibrations that emanate from the political classes, lest one be caught unawares.It was earlier this year, at the conference hosted by the British Government in London to discuss the various problems of Somalia, that the matter of ransoms was first obliquely touched on. Perhaps this had been prefaced by various noises hostile to ransom payment coming from Washington, but the inference has clearly been that the payment of ransoms to pirates for the return of captured ships has been merely fuelling the continuance of the problem, in the view of some officials. The message from the London conference was largely seen to be one of disapproval of the payment of ransoms, one that caused a certain amount of dismay in the maritime world, not least in those countries whose nationals have formed the largest part of the hostage "community". There is now concern that a task force on ransoms recently formed may be undertaking its work with the aim of making the payment of ransoms, if not illegal, at least more difficult, and the welfare of hostages thus put at risk by such policies. BIMCO, and maritime organisations from all parts of the industry, have made it clear that the safety of seafarers is paramount, with no efforts being spared to obtain the release of hostages taken by pirates. And while governments might boldly assert that they will not under any circumstances pay ransoms to hostage takers of any kind, it might be argued that these "principled" assertions are very different to the realities of actual hostage negotiations, and the duty of care borne by employers of seafarers. Some suggest that it is both naive and unrealistic to suggest that the Somali pirates will meekly turn their backs on their lucrative criminal enterprise and return to more peaceful occupations if their access to ransom money is interrupted. The reality, as pointed out by those facing the grim business of ransoming their crews and ships, will be that such proscription will almost certainly condemn those already in pirate hands to an even worse fate. It is easy to make powerful statements of "principle", but it is not governments who will have the job of explaining to the relatives of the hostages (some 230 are currently in pirate hands) why their loved ones are not returning. It is also not governments who will have the job of explaining to seafarers that, should they be captured by pirates, the process for their safe return has been interrupted by legalities. The responsibility of governments, it might be suggested, is to put weight and commitment into solving the frightful problems ashore in Somalia, and to step up the peace processes that might possibly restore law and order to that troubled country. The maritime industry and its many participants are grateful for the naval protection being provided at present, but agrees that if there is to be any lasting solution, it must come on land, and not at sea. Articles written by the Watchkeeper and other outside contributors do not necessarily reflect the views or policy of BIMCO.

Event Name: Michelson Found Animals Saving Pets Challenge
County of Santa Clara Animal Care & Control wrote -
The Santa Clara County Animal shelter is working hard to connect people with animals and save lives. We pride ourselves on the individual attention that animals in our care recieve- They are like our own pets until they are adopted! We currently maintain a fantastic rate of about 90% success when it comes to saving pets, but we are still pushing ourselves to do better!
We believe that given the opportunity, most people love their pets and want to do the right thing- we want to help them! Our goal is to raise funds to start a free or very low cost mobile spay and neuter service to help end pet overpopulation. In doing so, we hope to see a decrease in unwanted pets in our shelters, which will help us save even more lives! Please help the dogs and cats of Santa Clara County by donating today!

Kittens planned for late 2018
All our cats and kittens live in the family home, and the kittens are brought up around the hustle and bustle of a busy household, including our dogs. They are therefore very well socialised. They are very much our babies and as such it is very important to us that they will be going to the right homes. We therefore invite prospective families to visit us at least once before you decide if a Tonkinese kitten is right for you.
They will be ready to leave for their new homes no sooner than 13 weeks of age, and will be fully vaccinated in accordance with GCCF guidelines, micro-chipped, wormed and litter tray trained. We have a GCCF registered,prefix, and all kittens will have a 4 generation pedigree certificate and 4 weeks free insurance with Petplan on pickup. And it doesn't stop there - we are always at hand for advice and love to hear how our babies grow up into adults.

Milan Bluegrass Festival
With their fresh sound, original material, strong vocals and innovative musicianship, Breaking Grass is doing exactly what their name implies. Although not quite traditional, the music they present is without a doubt steeped in the timeless genre they grew up listening to. Comprised of Cody Farrar on guitar; Tyler White on fiddle; Jody Elmore on banjo; Zach Wooten on mandolin; and Britt Sheffield on bass; this innovative band formed with one goal in mind - to make music that all ages could enjoy.
Breaking Grass is excited to announce the release of their newest single, "Annie." Download the single, or order the album "Warning Signs" by clicking the picture below!
"If Forrest Gump were talking about this band, he might say 'Breaking Grass is like a box of chocolates....' With Breaking Grass, my very first impression was; this band understands variety. From heartfelt emotion to barroom romance to a Texas Two-Step to a genuine good-old-fashioned barn-burner, Breaking Grass lacks nothing in mixing it up. It's refreshing to hear a band that truly is different...different from any other and even different from within." - Brian McNeal - Prescription Bluegrass

Mass went very well considering we were on the front pew and normally sit in the family section. Both sets of grandparents sat behind us and we were so happy to have them there. Felicity got pretty chatty toward the end, but did very well over all. Steven had the brunt of caring for her which was a nice break for me and I just nursed, patted, and rocked Clare who was mostly happy through Mass. There was another baby being baptized which was kind of nice because I don't love the spotlight. We all crowded around the font for our babies to have their original sin washed away. Both cried a bit when the water was poured over their heads, but calmed down.
Toward the end of Mass, I heard Clare poop (it's quite loud) and figured I'd change her as soon as Mass was over. Well, right as Mass ended I lifted my hand up from where I was holding her and... well you can guess the rest. Poop on my hand, her dress, my dress. Even worse, we had no wipes because our friend had borrowed ours during Mass and used the last one. Godparents to the rescue! They had some in their car, and we had a white dress in the car so we got Clare changed before doing a couple pictures. I'm pretty bummed that I didn't get any good photos with her in the baptismal gown but I guess this is real life, huh? Oh well. That will head to the dry cleaners tomorrow!
After Mass, Steven ran to the grocery store for diapers (we used the last one in the diaper bag during the blow out and I was afraid of a repeat performance!) and then we- Godparents, grandparents, and friends- met back up at Ihop for breakfast. It was a lovely time eating and chatting, and thankfully Clare slept so I could enjoy my food! Felicity did wonderfully the whole time and was in love with her "tutu dress" of course,
After coming home for naps, we met back up with our friends and Godparents at a local park and had cake, play time, and then decided to all order chinese and have dinner together. We are now home, exhausted, and so happy. Such a perfect day!

City Guide:
Richmond is a place to shop till you drop'.
Its open-air shopping atmosphere makes shopping there ideal for easy bargains. This city has nine blocks of specialty stores dubbed the ''Mile of Style'' packed with boutiques, salons, cafés, antiques, florists and bookstores exclusive to Richmond.
With Booked.net you can save some money on accommodation for extra buy. At our website you can meet all hotels in Richmond at the lowest possible price from cheap offers to luxury Richmond hotels listed with maps, photos and secure forms at Booked.net.
And shopping is not all there is to Richmond as this city has brought back to life its historical canal district. This is a good opportunity to take a brief view of Richmond at boat tour available hourly from April to November. This is because of weather with dry summers and mild winters, but reaching temperatures below freezing point from December.
If you want to avoid steamy summers with heavy rain hitting the area during tropical storm season, it is better to travel to Richmond in April, September and October. In addition, many interesting events pay a host at this time. For instance, the James River Film Festival is held in April, while the State Fair takes place in late September.
Add to these events the architectural blend the city is going to occupy you with and you will like Richmond – a city concentrated with attractions. It has the longest line of Victorian architecture in the United States and comprehensive mix of Italianate, Richardson Romanesque, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles.
Attractions include;
- Maymont Park, the most beautiful urban parks in the nation
- The Historic Downtown, a cobbled area rich in history
- Monument Avenue, a grand avenue at downtown Richmond with statues to Confederate heroes
- Byrd Park offers a concentration of fishing lakes and seasonal paddle boats
All these places mark the city's past. Richmond history is rooted in fishing and agriculture due to fertile soil provided by the James River plains the city sits on. It's no surprise then that the first European settlers to this area were farmers in 1609. In the 19th century Richmond became a focus for the largest manufacturing in the country and many people relocated there for a better life.
Richmond continues to attract immigrants from Canada, China and Hong Kong. This cultural diversity makes it an exciting place to visit. Today it includes 197,790 people with 38.30 percent white, 57.19 percent African American and small part of Native American - 0.24 percent.
You may stop wondering how exciting Richmond is, but pack your suitcases to travel there with Booked.net.

Nepal, INGO development-related work (Kathmandu)
Hi all, I'm new here. Have completed an MSc in international development and looking to gain some overseas experience with an INGO / NGO of some kind. I have experience working in London for charities, but no overseas experience. Please, can anyone suggest a good place to start looking, and tell me what kind of pay one can expect to receive? Any advise would be very helpful. Thankyou.

Hi my friends and welcome - today I have some great news from Elizabeth Craft Designs. They have just released 5 new sets of Pop it Up Dies from Karen Burniston. For the next few days I will be sharing some cards I made using them.
I immediately fell in love with the Props 6 - since I live in the Southwest - this is a favorite theme for me. I love all the small details this die set provides. From the sheriff's badge to the stars on the spurs, this was so much fun. Hope you enjoy.
On the card front I used some stickers that I had - then added the cute boots and spurs from Props 6.
Check below for a link to all the dies I used on this card.
Cocoa the Horse is all decked out in his cowboy hat and scarf. Giddy Up!
See you tomorrow for card 2,

What little Bay Trail is there is in tablets or hybrids and tends to be the slower version and has small screens.
Bay Trail technology Celeron and Pentium are making some appearances in laptops, but there is a serious problem. At least with Windows, they are only in touch screen laptops. Worse most, possibly all, have only 2 gb of memory and they all have standard hard drives. As it is the same specs from several OEMs, one wonders if Intel is not putting these restrictions on the OEMs to keep these systems from undercutting the still expensive ultrabooks. To me it looks like the intentionally crippled netbooks all over again.
There is no reason why an 11" screen, 128gb SSD, 4 gb memory laptop isn't available around $400. Yet not one such device is there.
It looks like another grim Holiday Season for the PC Industry again. When will they learn that most people don't want touch laptops? Nor do most want to pay more than $400 for one!

Do people feel better after one infusion of Tysabri?
- Asked
- 20 Sep 2016 by Willowsmom
- Updated
- 26 September 2016
- Topics
- tysabri, multiple sclerosis, infusion
Responses (1)
Each person's reaction is different. I've spoken with people in the infusion room that feel better the next day. They say they can tell it's time for the infusion by the way they feel before the infusion. For myself, I react differently. I don't feel well for at least 5-9 days following Tysabri with pain, headache, extreme fatigue and flu-like symptoms. My MS symptoms continue for a couple more weeks. I get about a week and a half of what I term "good" days each month. My relapsing remitting symptoms don't completely go away, but Tysabri keeps new symptoms and lesions from appearing. So, in my opinion, it is working very well.
Thank you for responding.

There were so many issued that I want to rage on my blog – Oxley Road house, minister's comments on MRT breakdowns, deadlines and more deadlines, people piling more and more work at me …..
But when I signed on WordPress, I felt so numb and don't really have anything to write. My mind is full of deadlines over the most boring, unimportant mundane stuff that I can no longer occupy my brain with useful knowledge.
Corporate world wanting me to be their version of me whilst I want to be my version of myself.
My parents worked so high and suffered so much throughout their lives. By the time when they can retire without financial liability, they are hit by chronic illness.
I fear that by the time that I can slam the door and leave corporate world behind, I will repeat their same fate. Or worst, corporate world is Hotel California that I can't leave.
In the end, it doesn't matter. No matter how hard I try.
Rest in peace, Chester Bennington. I do not know your name before your death. I only knew your sorrowful voice through Linkin Park. There was a phase in my life that I listen to In The End, Numb etc repeatedly every morning before I face this real world.

For much of the audience the stage show of 'Allo 'Allo is only ever going to be as funny as you found the original sitcom which was written by David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd and broadcast on BBC One from 1982 to 1992. David Croft was also responsible for the theme music which Garden Suburb Theatre Company had playing discretely in the background as audience members arrived to their production at the Bull Theatre in High Barnet on Friday, May 10th
The original series relied on recurring scenarios so there was almost a sense of deja vu as we were introduced to old friends like the painting of the Fallen Madonna with the big boobies concealed in a knackwurst, Edith singing appallingly and the lascivious Italian Captain Bertorelli . The open stage immediately took us to a small town café in Nazi-occupied France during World War II with chairs and tables, the bar, the clock through which the two British airmen could appear and stage left a small area to represent the larder, which had a handy window for people to climb in and out at appropriate moments. The set was functional but created the scene of the café well. However, the transfers to Gestapo and SS offices were a little clumsy slowing the momentum of the play. Perhaps the cast members could have helped taking props and furniture on and off to speed up the changes and keep up the pace.
Humour was created through dropped trousers, compromising positions and flashes of underwear, both male and female, all well-established comedic devices along with classic lines such as "I shall disappear up your back passage" and "do you want a cockatoo?". I took my father, who had never seen a whole episode of 'Allo 'Allo and we both chuckled at the humour which was almost the funnier for being so familiar. Whether they were caught unawares or also simply enjoying the comfort of the familiar, the pre-dominantly middle-aged audience were thoroughly enjoying the show. How much of the 'saucy seaside postcard' humour and the repeated lines which had us in stitches were wasted on the younger members of the audience who had come to see friends and family only they will know!
Well drawn believable characters are not what an audience is looking for in a production of 'Allo 'Allo. The fact that the characters are stereotypical caricatures means that actors taking on the roles have a very good starting point for their performance and this was particularly evident with the arrival on stage of Jon Musker as René. Skilfully holding the piece together with style and humour he wore his apron with aplomb and took control of the scene beautifully with his world weary rendition of the hen-pecked, beleaguered café owner who's oddly appealing to his female staff. In the style of a true farce, René attempts to keep everyone happy - the Resistance, the occupying Nazis, the Gestapo - while also keeping his affairs with his two waitresses from each other and from his wife, the sharp-tongued Edith. Played by Mary Groom her performance was a fitting tribute to the late Carmen Silvera - she even managed to be suitably off-key with the cabaret singing!
Rachel Berg and Antonia White sashayed around the stage as Yvette and Mimi - the lascivious waitresses, whilst Laura Brocklesby turned in a very creditable performance as Michelle, the star of the Resistance. Other significant roles were consummately performed by Simon Ramsay as Colonel Ludwig Von Schmelling; Carl Underhill as Colonel Von Strohm; Natalie White, the voluptuous Helga; Jon Glatter's Captain Bertorelli, with an eye for the ladies and a dash of Latin bravado; Geoff Prutton's sinister yet hilarious Herr Flick; Fred Griessen, the master of see through disguises Leclerc; Omer Warman's excellently camp Gruber and a special mention for my favourite character, Officer Crabtree, Ed Smith, the British agent posing as a French policeman who beautifully distorted all his vowels so that he was virtually incomprehensible. Unfortunately some actors seemed to be trying so hard with the accents that they appeared to struggle with projection and odd lines were lost.
Although the plotline occasionally flags, particularly the introduction of the cheese bombs, a story which goes nowhere simply fizzling out during the second half, the final scene with a stage full of phoney Fuhrers is hilarious. There are a number other memorable moments such as the freeze-frame to allow René to explain the plot, a ridiculous inflatable Hitler and even a booby-trapped stocking.
The uniforms and costumes were excellent having been sensibly hired in from www.alloallo-hire.co.uk however those which were sourced by Frances Musker were equally effective and helped to add to the authenticity of the play. In places the lighting was a little patchy with perhaps some cues coming in slightly early and of course an unexpected appearance of a set of barn doors, which came crashing into the audience at the beginning of the second half. Congratulations to the cast for making sure that the show went on and particularly Jon Musker for the brilliant line "I'm really sorry to ask you to repeat that ..." In response to Michelle's line "Listen very carefully I will say this only once..." which had been the last line spoken as the barn doors crashed. A highly amusing recovery!
Director Joyce Piper has done a great job and the cast are to be commended on maintaining such a high level of energy throughout the performance!

Job security?
I often hear that nursing is a great field to go into because I will never have to worry about the job market. Lately, I have been getting a bit nervous about my potential job choices upon my graduating from nursing school. It is no secret that in the past few years the economy has suffered a great deal. Employment rates are low as are job prospects for the average college graduate. Never would I imagine that nursing would be included into this category, but I am finding that some of my graduate friends are having difficulty finding jobs. So I ask myself, am I going to have to worry about my job security as a nurse? Am I going to have a difficult time finding a job when I graduate? This is a terrifying thought for me. For the past four years, I have been working tirelessly to get through school….to obtain the key to my future; my degree. A few hospitals in the Chicagoland area where I reside are experiencing cutbacks and hiring freezes to cut costs. Although floors still remain understaffed and shortage of nurses is apparent, these institutions are now holding back. How safe is this for patients? How safe is this for the nurses and staff working in these institutions? These are some of the questions that pop into my mind when we are living among unsteady economic times. I am starting to get really concerned that I will not be able to find a job when I graduate from school. I see classified ads in the newspapers for RN's for hire, but they usually are for an experienced RN. So what is a graduate nurse to do? How can we get the job if jobs only want the experienced? So many unanswered questions.

One Response to Job security?
I empathize with you. IMHO I think the only difference between now and when I graduated is you have to look and research a little harder. The jobs are STILL out there.. just not THE job. Instead of having your pic of the litter, you may have to take a 'second choice'
And believe me there are still many wonderful opportunities out there. Your opportunities are only limited by you and your desire.
Best of luck!

Updated Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic majority leader, said he does not believe the candidates' tone has been problematic, but expressed concern about the fretting from some Democratic leaders. In an interview, Mr. Reid said that Democrats worrying over divisions in the party "need to relax and cool it a little bit."
He said he has had separate conversations with the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean and former Vice President Al Gore recently and is confident that the nominating fight will end naturally.
"People should not lament what is going on," Mr. Reid said. "This will be over long before the convention. Does it mean June 5 or two weeks from now? I don't know, but this will all be just fine."
His remarks come as one of his fellow Democrats in the Senate, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, called on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to pull out of the race, in part because of the potential that an extended campaign would hurt the party's candidate in November. Another fellow Senator, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, made a surprise endorsement of Senator Barack Obama.

John J. Connolly Jr., a former high-profile FBI agent already imprisoned for selling out to one of New England's most powerful criminal organizations, was indicted on a charge of murder Wednesday in Miami in the 1982 assassination of former World Jai Alai President John B. Callahan.
Callahan, a fast-talking accountant from Boston who liked to pal around with gangsters, was shot twice in the head and stuffed into the trunk of his Cadillac. The killer left a dime on Callahan's chest, an underworld warning to anyone who might be thinking of ``dropping a dime'' -- snitching to authorities. Police found the Cadillac in a parking lot at Miami International Airport.

Childhood illnesses at a glance
Parents are being urged to download a new poster on common childhood illnesses and stick it on their fridge.
Local NHS experts have joined forces with Essex County Council and Billericay Community Trust to produce an at-a-glance guide to 17 childhood illnesses including Chicken Pox, Glandular Fever, Ringworm and Tonsillitis.
The poster highlights key symptoms of common illnesses which are traffic light colour coded to indicate whether children should go to school or stay at home.
Illnesses in the green category – for example colds and conjunctivitis - are those where children should continue to go to school.
Amber is when an illness could be catching and there are some restrictions on school attendance.
Children should not go to school and should see a GP if the illness falls into the red category. Red category illnesses are German measles. Impetigo, Measles and Whooping Cough.
The poster also advises parents on where they should first seek treatment, either from their local pharmacist or their GP.
There is guidance on when to consult a GP if symptoms persist and advice on when it should be safe for a child to return to school if they have a particular illness.

Something Borrowed
One item is usually worn belonging to a happy bride, bringing the happiness of their marriage to yours!

Yellow Garters superstition
Yellow garters were thought to attract lovers, remember 'Twelfth Night'? In the 19c an obliging bride would wear a yellow garter placed there by a hopeful girl-friend, to ensure marriage for the friend within the year. One Boston bride went to the alter wearing 7 yellow garters from hopeful friends!
Dainty creamy yellow, wedding garter with a single blue ribbon…
Throwing the bouquet / wedding garter
Flinging the stocking was a favorite wedding chamber sport: Men seized the bride's stockings and girls the groom's, each group took it in turns to sit at the bottom of the bed and in turn to toss the stockings over their heads to fall, for an early marriage, on the bridegroom if thrown by a girl, on the bride if thrown by a man.
Then all the younger folks in,
With ceremony throw the stocking
Backward, o'er head, in turn they toss'd it;
Till in sack-posset they had lost it.
Th'intent of flinging thus hose
Is to hit him or her on the nose,
Who hits the mark o'er the left shoulder
Must be married be ere twelve monthes older.
(Progress of Matrimony, 1733)
Throwing the garter and bouquet are believed to be direct descendants of 'flinging the stocking'
It was customary for the bride to toss her garter to the male guest who had won the 'race for the garter' (from the church to the bride house). In 1820 Lady…. on stepping from her bridal coach, enquired who had won the race. She called to the lad, 'come Tom and claim your prize. For I intend to be properly married, and to have the luck I am entitled to.' Smiling she added 'Take it off, Tom, and give it to your sweetheart, and may it bring luck to both of you.'
But frequently the men got too drunk, and would become impatient and try to remove the garter ahead of time. In the interests of decorum the custom changed to tossing the bridal bouquet. Recently the toss of the garter has been revived in America, where two garters will be bought one to toss and one to keep.
ref: Blakeborough, Richard, Wit,Character, Folklore and Customs of the North Riding of Yorkshire(1898), 100-1
And a matching garter to toss You can now order a garter to toss, to match any of our wedding garters!

Choosing 1st Wedding Anniversary Gifts – Getting it Right
The first year of marriage is often described as the hardest and so it is
vitally important to celebrate your 1st wedding anniversary in style, just
so that your partner knows how much you love and appreciate them.
Unfortunately, you may be too busy to think about finding the perfect
anniversary gift and so a few favorites are listed below to give you
inspiration. Most include some kind of paper product as this is
traditionally considered to be the symbolic material for the 1st wedding
For Him
You could name a star after him so that he has a lifelong certificate to
remember the day by or alternatively you can order a commemorative newspaper
from either the date of your wedding or the date of your 1st anniversary.
If he is a family man then you may want to consider buying a special gift
set that highlights the history of his family name, all on a framed
certificate complete with his own coat of arms. Another idea, but this time
for the more adventurous man, is to send him on a day out to a rally driving
school or white water rafting for example. You can buy gift packs with a
paper voucher that entitles him to a great day out doing something he
wouldn't generally do in day-to-day life.
For Her
It is no secret that women are generally more romantic than men and so a
gift such as a personalised poem complete with your favorite wedding photos
in a silver frame can be a great idea. Alternatively you might want to put
your own photo album together for her that contains all of the photos that
mean the most to you. This continues with the paper theme but is something
that she can keep as a memento forever. Another idea is to buy her a piece
of jewellery or something similar that comes with a certificate of
authentication. If you are feeling really enthusiastic then you can arrange
a treasure hunt day which has you both visiting the places that bring back
special memories. The paper clues can either lead to the most special place
where you can leave a bottle of personalised champagne or to a surprise
party with all your friends and relatives.
With a little bit of thought you can easily find the perfect
Wedding Anniversaries

The full moon was considered lucky for weddings in ancient Greece
You should make a wish, while the happy couple cut the cake!

It's been exactly 1 month since my last posting here. I called it a hiatus. It was. I enjoyed it.
I don't think I took any photos this last month with the exception of a few for a website.
Over this time, I've been planning a few shoots that are up and coming. I've also been diligently working on the prequel to a book I've already written yet haven't published. It's been very exciting to outline the book and begin writing it in an orderly fashion. I can thank the maker or makers of Scrivener for this because the first book was written in Word and there really is no comparison between the two programs in terms of keeping things orderly.
I've also been buying more female clothing. That sounds weird, but I don't have a wardrobe person in my corner which means I am it. I hope to put these new pieces to work soon.
In the last month I've also been able to back up and review some philosophy on the subject of living. I've read from a few different sources and compiled a list that I think would probably equate to a changed world, and for the better, if applied by people. Little by little, one by one, we can try to emulate a higher state. So here we go:
1) Be Happy and thankful; life can throw you curve balls and temporary emotions may be appropriate, but in general be happy and be thankful. Life is not worth it as an angry person.
2) Love people, realize that they have a set of their own problems and short comings just as you do.
3) Think with the future in mind. We are all approaching our futures with every present moment. Do your present actions contribute to better survival in the future; for you, your family, your friends, groups, mankind, the planet and on?
4) Never regret the past or your actions or lack of action. Life is too short to dwell on these things. If you messed something up, fix it. If you can't figure out what you can do, then go out and help others in similar situations to what you are now trying to remedy.
5) Find your purpose in this life. When were you doing the things that made you the most happy? Were you fulfilled and was it genuine? You will know. Once you find your purpose, take a look at your life and all of your actions now. Which ones contribute to that purpose? Reinforce those! Which ones detract from your purpose? Push those out.
6) Challenge yourself continually. Life is full of plateaus, master one then move on up a little higher.
7) Be a giver, help people, take the time to care. But be willing to be helped as well, especially when you need it.
8) Never join a new group, school, union, partnership, university or educational class thinking you know all about it. Doing that bars your chances to learn and can stunt your growth on many levels.
9) Be responsible for yourself and when you master that, for others. Be willing to be the one that carries things forward. Never abandon something or someone which you are depended upon unless that action, person or group was negative in the first place.
10) Be humble.
11) Be different. Don't try to be anyone else except yourself, because really, there is no other you, but there is already others with their own personalities.
12) Remember that in life's often brutal pummeling to first focus on your purpose and the future and realize that everything is temporary and shall come to pass.
13) Make things happen. If you don't succeed at first, it's okay to back up, reevaluate things and then work at it again.
14) Groups with purposes, direction and vision can overcome more than any ONE person in the same position but it takes the individual to dream up the idea.
15) Slow down on occasion and breathe. Take a break, go out, breathe, get away from your daily life, daily routine and repetitive motions.
16) Remove negative stresses in your life, gradually or all at one. Just work toward situations where stress is at a minimum.
17) Be true to yourself. Don't compromise your ideals, integrity or self.
18) Always be willing to learn, even if those around you consider you are more advanced in any field or area of life.
19) Always be willing to experience anything. If you do this, you will have a greater chance of being
20) Do everything you can to eat healthy and stay active. Suppression on the body is suppression on the tethered spirit and a plague on the mind.
21) Never support a group or government that oppresses it's citizens because of the actions of the few. Such, will bring the entire society down to the level of the one they have failed to handle. Don't be idle with groups that threaten your right to freedom, life, and the pursuit of happiness, wealth, individuality, health and peace.

Again. Please. Don't get me wrong.
I'm not saying that FEU Tamaraw baller RR Garcia is, indeed, Vice Ganda's boyfriend. I just need some "clarification" here.
I've already cleared that Terrence Bill Romeo isn't Vice Ganda's boyfriend. I'm still giving that the "benefit of the doubt" but, oh well, it's none of my business, anyway. I was just curious back then.
And now....I read some blind item again on FashionPulis.com and I just can't help but wonder....
Is RR Garcia the one that FashionPulis is referring to in his post?
Is he the "real" boyfriend of Vice Ganda? FEU Tamaraw RR Garcia?
Should we now call Vice Ganda...Vice Garcia instead? CHOZ!
I wanna know. I'm just so...intrigued! I'm sorry. I'm just curious again.
He's kinda cute in a way, noh?
He's kinda....
Terrence Bill Romeo with RR Garcia.
Terrence is kinda more of my type. Oh, gosh....I think I'm kinda starting to like basketball players now. CHOZ!
Terrence looks so hunky and huggable here. And RR...well....he's cute. The guy in blue is cute, too. Ahihihi!
No pun intended. Don't get me wrong again. Please. But...in case you don't know....Vice Ganda has a white Mitsubishi Montero. NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER. That's just me.
So....what do you think?
Please let me know, so, I can also help clarify this issue, too. Thanks!

Let Ward Solutions help organisations in their path to secure cloud adoption, advising on appropriate cloud models for their business, delivering secure design, implementation services and a fully Managed Security Service, providing you with a single provider for all your requirements.
The Challenge: drivers for organisations to provide their customers with more real time and collaborative services are increasing – staff are demanding more flexibility and empowerment in how and from where they work – everyone is under pressure to reduce costs – our users, data and apps have to be kept secure.
Services available in public cloud continue to expand, promising some or all of the above, allowing businesses to move away from on-premise infrastructure to hosting services in the cloud, replacing on premise software and desktop tools with Software as a Service offerings.
So which cloud service is right for your business?
The answer is that there is no silver bullet, no one shoe fits all.
The differences in our organisations, our requirements, how we interact with others, how our staff work, the information we work with etc. means that the right service (or combination of services) for 1 business will not be the right fit for another.
This is where Ward Solutions bring value to our customers.
We get to know your business, how you work, the key functions and requirements your organisation needs not just to operate, but to do so in as efficient, cost effective and secure manner as possible.
From performing assessments and offering guidance on a roadmap for cloud adoption, through assistance in onboarding, implementation services, to offering fully Managed Security Services, we can assist you in individual phases of your journey, or work with you throughout.
- Cloud Readiness Assessment service, to review your current services (onprem & cloud), your IT Strategy, current requirements and issues, to determine a roadmap and approach, specific to your business, for adoption and migration of suitable cloud services.
- Cloud Discovery, to provide you with visibility of the cloud services that may currently be in use from your network right now, that you may be unaware of.
- For Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) requirements, Ward will provide design & architecture services, to ensure security, scalability, robustness of your cloud network and platforms.
- Where public cloud is not the right model for your business, Ward Solutions can design and build your own private or hybrid to meet you specific security requirements.
- Ward can help you in migration to cloud services, for example of email to Office365, identities to Azure Active Directory, or setup of software on public Cloud Iaas, ensuring that the appropriate level of security controls are put in place.
- We perform risk assessment and security design reviews of 3rd party providers architecture or designs.
- We provide ongoing security audit and assessment of your provider's cloud services during operation either at pre-production or in production phases.
As of Jan 2017, Ward Solutions are now registered as part of the Microsoft Cloud Service Provider progamme.
You can now register with Ward for your Office 365 & Azure licenses and subscriptions, allowing us to provide our managed services to you as part of an overall service, meaning you can manage your Microsoft Office 365 & Azure licence, subscription and managed service provider costs all through 1 single vendor.

More on What Will Keep Teachers in the Classroom
To the Editor:
Arthur E. Levine and David Haselkorn's recent Commentary on teacher retention and recruitment, "Teaching at the Precipice" (Nov. 5, 2008), led me to consider two issues I've encountered as a 25-year school superintendent in a small, rural elementary district and, currently, as a co-director of an alternative teacher-preparation program.
First, my impression has been that what a school is like to teach in is the greatest determinant, other than crucial life events, of what keeps teachers there or chases them away—from the school itself, and sometimes from the profession. Systemwide leadership, building leadership, and the culture of a school are all factors in the teaching experience there. Another is the expectations of teachers themselves.
My second impression is that there is a natural form for creating the two or three years of mentoring recommended by Messrs. Levine and Haselkorn: service as a paraprofessional. The district I served as superintendent relied more heavily than many on such workers. I found that when I could not hire experienced teachers to fill a position, an experienced paraprofessional with a teaching credential was a great alternative. Paraprofessionals from within our own district were particularly strong candidates because they had been treated as colleagues to teachers in ways that included professional development and participation in decisionmaking.
Many of the candidates in the teacher-certification program for which I now work are paraprofessionals: recent college graduates who took paraprofessional positions to stay in the area; longtime paraprofessionals who, over the years, were reluctant to take on a college or university program; and others. Because these people know what it is like to work in schools, and some have worked in schools for a very long time, they will have a relatively low turnover rate. Alternative-licensure programs that attract people who initially did not aspire to teach are one legitimate element in the effort to find new teachers who will stay in the profession.
